"Leadership is a journey of growth, passion, and advocacy. Desiring to leave an organization better than you found it is a mark of successful leadership. It is envisioning a better future for our profession and taking active steps towards positive change. Through the unity of our voice, nursing is destined to reach new heights."

What They Say

“I landed a job at the Cleveland Clinic because the nurse manager liked that I was involved in OhSNA. She was looking for nurses who would be involved in shared governance. My OhSNA membership sealed the deal for this new grad.”

Thomas Piper II, RN

OhSNA Board Member (2013-14)

“The Annual NSNA convention changed the entire trajectory of my time as a nursing student. Two years ago I met the Ohio BOD in Portland, Oregon . I then came home and took my involvement from just a local level to a state level when I accepted the offer to fill the open membership director role on the Ohio BOD! I met so many passionate members at so many levels that were genuinely seeking out the highest opportunities and experiences for nursing students across the nation. I was so excited to become apart of a great organization on a whole new level and am honored to go back this year as the Vice President of the Ohio BOD and dive deeper into everything the NSNA offers to its students. Networking with a national representation of students, faculty, vendors, schools, and nurses is an amazing opportunity that I would encourage everyone to be apart of!”

Megan Jones

Vice President (2015-2016)
